This article is so dead on as is your English comment. People (including myself)never want to admit they ate there for dinner...but a lot of times it is the only thing open late at night when I get off work. The English thing is an issue...as is hiring every R&B hip-hop high school thug to serve you.

Raise the pay a few more dollars and watch the people applying there change overnight.After taxes making 6.75 an hr just aint gonna do it. They should clean house...fire a good portion of their workforce...and do actual interviews. Not warm bodies. That will be good for starters. Then offer between 9-11 dollars an hour. A lot of these people work their asses off for peanuts.

Bringing back some good slogans and even the characters they have like Hamburgular,Frie Guys, and even Ronald would not hurt either. My son loves that place because of the fries and the characters. I noticed when I was at one the other day the bags and inside had a 1950's appeal to it.

I like your idea of being selective in hiring. The problem is, decent people cost money, as you also mentioned. The cost of hiring decent people will go to the customers. Will they pay? Or will they go to BK to get the 99 value selections, because they won't pay for the new $1.59 value selections at McDonalds?

Unfortunately, society and the economy of today is such that if the manager gets on $6 an hour Johnny for talking to his coworkers too much, $6 an hour Johnny can tell the manager to pound sand, walk 100 feet to the next fast food joint, and get hired like that.

All that said, I give top marks to Rally's for best overall fastfood place, and the best burger goes to the Ultimate Burger at the DQ.
